Lupus

Understanding Lupus

Lupus, formally known as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and organs throughout the body. This can cause widespread inflammation and damage to multiple organ systems including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, and blood cells.

Lupus is characterized by periods of increased disease activity (flares) alternating with periods of remission when symptoms improve or disappear. The disease manifests differently in each individual, with symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening. Lupus predominantly affects women, particularly women of childbearing age, though men and children can also develop the condition.

While there is no cure for lupus, effective management can help control symptoms, prevent organ damage, reduce flare frequency, and improve quality of life. Treatment approaches are highly individualized based on which organs are affected and disease severity.

Lupus is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider through clinical evaluation, blood tests (including ANA, anti-dsDNA, and complement levels), urinalysis, imaging studies, and assessment of symptom patterns.

If you are experiencing symptoms of lupus or have concerns about autoimmune conditions, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

Common Symptoms of Lupus

General Symptoms

  • Extreme fatigue and weakness
  • Fever without infection
  • Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
  • Butterfly-shaped facial rash across cheeks and nose
  • Skin rashes or lesions that worsen with sun exposure (photosensitivity)
  • Fingers and toes turning white or blue in cold or stress (Raynaud's phenomenon)

Organ-Specific Symptoms

  • Kidney problems (lupus nephritis)
  • Chest pain with breathing (pleurisy or pericarditis)
  • Headaches, confusion, or memory problems
  • Shortness of breath
  • Dry eyes or mouth

Informational Note:

Everyone experiences lupus differently. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.

Medications for Lupus: Treatment Options

Lupus is often managed through a combination of immunosuppressive medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, lifestyle modifications, sun protection, and regular monitoring. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your disease activity, organ involvement, symptom severity, medical history, and treatment goals.

Common Types of Lupus Medications

Antimalarial Drugs

Medications such as hydroxychloroquine are commonly prescribed by healthcare providers as a cornerstone therapy for lupus to reduce disease activity and prevent flares.

Corticosteroids

Prednisone or other corticosteroids may be used to quickly reduce inflammation during flares or for ongoing disease control, depending on severity and provider recommendation.

Immunosuppressants

Medications such as azathioprine, mycophenolate, or methotrexate may be prescribed to suppress the overactive immune system and prevent organ damage.

Biologics

Targeted biologic therapies such as belimumab may be used for patients with active lupus despite standard treatments.

NSAIDs

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be recommended for managing joint pain and inflammation associated with lupus.

Anticoagulants

For patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (common in lupus), blood-thinning medications may be prescribed to prevent clotting.

Combination Therapies

Many patients require multiple medications to control different aspects of lupus. Compounding may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed.
